URTEXT EDITIONThis “urtext” or “scholarly” (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in Germany and thus is public domain in its country of origin. Such editions are also public domain in Canada because they fail to meet the minimum ‘threshold of originality’ to qualify for copyright as an ‘adaptation’. It may not be public domain elsewhere, however. More information about this can be found here. Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

Misc. Comments

In Grove Music's work list for Lassus, under Lucescit jam o soc, it says "see 'Chansons'", and the full listing is under Chansons, making this one of the few examples of a chanson in a language other than French, though only the incipit is in Latin, and afterwards it is in French.
